Capítulo 25: Amber Lead ... is cured?
In the devoted care of Mr. Ludwig, the citizen's emotions returned to normal like the time when their town was in its prime.
The symptom was suppressed to a great degree. Medic used a special method called balancing chemistry in the body. I knew Medic once used this method to balance radiation in Scout's body since Scout's energy drink contained high radiation. The regular one that he drinks is 'Atomic Punch' Soda.
When I witnessed this technique with my bare eyes, I was very surprised since he could make the Amber Lead coexist with the host. They didn't feel immense fever or writhe around in agony anymore.
However, this method didn't solve the source of the problem.
"So, Medic. Do you have any solution for the disease coming from mineral?"
"Ah, yes. Director. I have 2 solutions for now. Long and short. Which one do you prefer?" Medic answered me.
"Long one."
"Long one. He he." Medic adjusted his glasses. "The long one is that I have to invent a medicine that can dissolve minerals inside the victim's body without hurting them. Since this world is new to me, there are many elements that I don't know."
"Okay. I can understand this problem" I nodded in agreement. His method was transforming the Amber Lead into another substance that wouldn't give a disease to the host. The only backside of this method was taking too much time. In doing so, Medic had to re-learn chemistry in this world from Zero.
"How about the other one."
"The other one. I am afraid that I will be very tired." Medic wiped his sweat with handkerchief. He stood up and made his way to the projector.
"PowerPoint." I looked at the slide that he made for the demonstration.
"After inspecting their overall body, I discover that the Amber Lead minerals are gathering mostly inside their liver. The other place is small but doesn't have too much effect on their body."
The picture showed that the Amber Lead was found in the liver.
"If I remove the lead from the liver, I think the symptom can be less serious."
"I see. Let me ask for volunteers." I stood up from the seat and made a left. "Try the short one, Medic. I want to see the effect first."
After hearing his method, it reminded me of the method that Law used to cure his Amber Lead in the novel. Without hearing the rest, I could imagine that he would be successful in curing Amber Lead.
"About the money." Medic calculated the total money if he performed this cure on all citizens on this island.
"Money is not a problem to me. You just do your best. And I will pay you. Also, bonus if you perform perfectly." I closed the door and made my way toward the stage where I usually gave a speech.
Yamato followed me from behind.
"Do we have money? You have spent all the money to rebuild the Wano country. And now, we are so poor that we can't buy anything."
"Money." my mouth raised into a smile. "You should remember that money in this world is not a big problem. After all, this is the age of pirates. In my eyes, pirates are a walking wallets. Not only do their boat have money and treasure, but we could send them to the marine for bounty."
As if I realized something, I stopped in the middle way.
"Besides, Mr. Ludwig is the mercenary and the doctor. He will need very many money for his research. Just normal treasure can't make our relationship last long. So I have to find something very special to reward him."
Medic, Mr. Ludwig, is a person that I invited through the tavern. However, this method had one downside. That is he won't be loyal to me. He could back-stab me anytime he wanted or he could leave me for another force. The only thing that held him until now was the money that I gave him and the contract.
"And what is that? I am very curious." Yamato asked.
"Yamato. Have you ever heard the Pure Gold?"
"Pure Gold." Yamato tried to recall anything related to the word Pure Gold.
"Yes. Pure Gold. It's so valuable that it can buy the entire island. We are going to retrieve Pure Gold after confirming his method is effective."
I was the most Wibu of Wibu so I knew the Pure Gold was the canon in one piece.
One piece: Heart of Gold.
Pure Gold, which can shine in the darkness and the light from it can stop the development of disease, was the unique thing in the TF2 world. If Medic sells it to the collector, he can be very rich. Enough for 10 years of experiment.
Also, I wanted to obtain the method how to make Pure Gold.
"We will go for a very long adventure." I opened the door. Behind the door revealed a stage.
"Wait for me to call for a volunteer."
After asking for a volunteer, the crowd was very nervous since they would become the first white mouse.
Even though they were so nervous, it was a disease that made them depressed.
In the end, one volunteer stepped on the stage. He was the miner and he was 67 years old this year.
"Okay. Thank everyone. Let's go." I led him to the operating room.
In that room, Medic had been waiting for the volunteer.
"Ah. Thank you for your donation."
"Just ignore him. I will observe the entire process" I gave the old miner some advice.
After lying down on the bed, he put him to sleep.
"Okay. It's time for your work. I will only watch behind the mirror."
"Believe me. It will be a good surgery." Medic pulled his gloves and started working.
He first opened the stomach. After opening, he took out the liver and used surgical tweezers to take Amber Lead out of the liver. He had to do this carefully since he didn't have a spare liver.
After watching for 2 days and 1 night, the surgery came to an end.
"Alright, lad. I have done."
"Okay. I can see from here." I said through the speaker. "You can have a rest. I will watch here from now."
"No. You are wrong, director. I have been resting all the time."
"Okay. You can sleep."
"Call me next morning." He fell asleep after the long surgery.
I came and inspected the patient. Suddenly, his skin started to turn normal. No more white scars on his body.
"I see. This is a total success." I held my mouth in excitement. I didn't believe that Amber Lead could be cured in this way. "Unbelievable. Is he completely cured or not?"
I wanted to run around crazily as a way to celebrate. However, my personality held me back to the elegant lady.
"Okay. Calm down. Finally. A good process. Let's observe for a while."
After checking for a while, I came to the conclusion that Amber Lead was eradicated.
"What. I thought this disease would be hard to cure. How can this be?" I held my forehead.
"So government eats dogshit all the time. Clearly, Dr. Vegapunk can cure it if he has time."
Things could be hidden for a long time, I would announce this news to everyone in town so that they could have hope again.
After the announcement, everyone held their tears. However, some part of them didn't believe it.
As a result, Medic had to perform surgery publicly.
After seeing the method and process, they burst into tears.
"Director. About the money."
"Ahem. I will pay it after you cure all the people in this town." I said.
"Yamato. We go for a treasure hunt now. Quickly" I shouted to call Yamato.
"I will come back after 1 week," I replied to Medic.
In response, he also nodded back to me.
"I don't know that you guys will find the cure quickly." Yamato appeared behind me with a bowl of noodles.
"I know. I also didn't expect this fast. You go activating the engine. I will make a teleport waypoint in this town."
"Okay."
I looked at the town with great expectation.
"This is going to be fun." I smiled like a sinister demon.
"I will throw false news onto the government head after this."
